How much do you know about modern? The ramp decks in modern skip making a 6/6 for 6 who can produce 4/4s. They got right into the on cast exile 2 perms, when attack mill 20 stuff using Tron lands.

For ramp you need to be doing something like the Eternal Witness/Primal Command loop, cheating stuff into play like Through the Breach and Summoning Trap, using Valakut to kill someone in a single turn, or just doing something better than making a 4/4.

You have this deck down as combo, zoo, midrange and ramp, so which is it, because those have very different meanings.

If I was going ramp, in GW, I would probably want to be creature based with a decent scaling top end.

RomulusStrange, as Karzalar stated, the Xenagos works with Emrakul and Tooth and Nail to provide an instant kill effect if the spell resolves. I had Wall of Roots in an earlier list but found that Sylvan Caryatid works better with the Worship in the sideboard and for mana fixing if that's ever necessary. Thanks for your suggestions though! I'd consider throwing a Blightsteel Colossus into the sideboard as a Summoning Trap target, but I don't have one at the moment.

Karzalar, nice idea - but there's no room for it. For every wall I remove, it's one less target for collected company and one less dork for the battlement. Cheers!

I would also throw in some draw power as well, a Harmonize, Staff of Nin, and Mind's Eye would do quite nicely. Those are draw engines that have always worked really well for in my decks.

I don't see the point of running Primal Surge if your entire deck isn't going to be permanents, but you do you. If you want to keep the deck budget than Zendikar Resurgent is a cheap mana doubler and draw engine. As a Saskia player myself, I like any Saskia deck that I see that isn't the meta aggro or token spam, so I hope you have good luck getting this deck to where it needs to be. Peace brother!
